Most memorable moment on the football field: Beating Thorp last week. It was absolutely unbelievable. Also scoring against Edgar last year in the (Level 1) playoffs.

Talk about this Saturday's matchup with Athens: Both teams are riding some momentum, and how big of a win would it be for you?: The game is huge because if we win, we are in the playoffs. We definitely need this one in order to have a chance at a home game in the postseason as well as possibly setting us getting a seed.

It seems at the beginning of the year, the team was struggling with consistency. Now over the past few weeks you appeared to have righted the ship. What has been the key?: The defense has really stepped up, and once it got consistent, it allowed our offense to click a little more. The tempo at practice got picked up after (a Week 3 loss to) Gilman, and we have been a much more solid team after that.

Talk about the offense, and quarterbacking a group that has a number of weapons to go to: Brad Knoblock at halfback and Luke Prososki at fullback, Ryan Stasser and Luke Hruska at the receivers and Nick Brush at tight end. All the guys are playmakers, and the offensive line has stepped up throughout the season. We're primarily a running team. I think we have 1,200 yards rushing. That starts with the offensive line. I think anybody could do what we do with the holes we make.
